Comments on: Feeling like part of the body again http://arewestillcool.com/2008/10/feeling-like-part-of-the-body-again.html Young parents, mere Christians, trying way too hard to be cool Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:51:37 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Amy Wright http://arewestillcool.com/2008/10/feeling-like-part-of-the-body-again.html/comment-page-1#comment-1622 Amy Wright Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:09:00 +0000 http://takecarenow.org/?p=319#comment-1622 Let's go back to that Florida plays LSU thing... :) <br/><br/>In light of the current economic status, rising grocery prices, etc., I have had to shed some of my Publix loyalties (let's face it folks, the pleasure of shopping there can be pricey) and shop by the circular, which means that in one week I may hit Albertson's, Neighborhood Wal Mart, Walgreens, BJs AND Publix. It's not efficient, but it's satisfying. <br/><br/>C-Town sounds cool, but I would write a letter requesting a name change. Let’s go back to that Florida plays LSU thing… :)

In light of the current economic status, rising grocery prices, etc., I have had to shed some of my Publix loyalties (let’s face it folks, the pleasure of shopping there can be pricey) and shop by the circular, which means that in one week I may hit Albertson’s, Neighborhood Wal Mart, Walgreens, BJs AND Publix. It’s not efficient, but it’s satisfying.

I stopped going to the super Wal-Mart (all within the same 2 mile radius, mind you) because...<br/><br/>a) It's messy. <br/>b) It's ALWAYS busy. Like crazygonuts. <br/>c) I usually end up fearing for my life in the parking lot, on account of both stupid drivers and sketchy individuals. (I'm only half joking...) <br/><br/>So, the convenience, less crazygonuts-ness and better atmosphere keep me coming back to good ol' Neighborhood Wal-Mart.

And I know you were going for funny, but I have a feeling finding your home store has been a serious matter, too. We have friends who moved to MN a couple months ago, and the first email I got included a long rant about how the Target by their new house was organized completely differently than the one here - and how hard that was making life, because everything's just different up there! :) <br/><br/>So - all that to say - I'm glad you found a new home.<br/><br/>And of course, I'm glad you have a place to sublet and a church to worship at and are still living this adventure in NYC.<br/><br/>By the way, do you all watch How I Met Your Mother? Because last week's episode was all about NJ vs. NYC. Pretty funny stuff, and it made me think of the Cool Fam. You’re funny.

So – all that to say – I’m glad you found a new home.

And of course, I’m glad you have a place to sublet and a church to worship at and are still living this adventure in NYC.

By the way, do you all watch How I Met Your Mother? Because last week’s episode was all about NJ vs. NYC. Pretty funny stuff, and it made me think of the Cool Fam.

I can totally understand the grocery store…as I’ve been a lifetime Publix girl. Just found and interesting version of “C-town” called HANDY-ANDY lots of fruits and veggies 6/$2.00 and 2lb/$2.00 albeit things are alot cheaper than in florida, but I’m still looking for the “deal”

Anyway, sounds like we are in similar “getting settled into a new place” modes right now…looking forward to catching back up and rejoining the blogosphere.
